STEAM is a reference to curriculum concepts that many of our preschools have known about and developed for years. We know that children are curious by nature. In fact, it is exactly that curiosity that we use to birth our lesson plans. Because curiosity and wonder is so natural and organic to children, it is crucial to support and encourage those very building blocks of intellectual learning. We as adults, just like children, learn best when we are exploring and that is what STEAM is all about, exploring in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

As we look at our world and the direction it is moving in, we see that the fields of progress and job demands are in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. In preschool education, these are exactly the concepts we already integrate heavily into our curriculum. Our preschool is all about asking questions, exploring ideas and materials, observing the causes and effects and predicting the outcomes. The most important part is that all of this is done within a world of play!

Take a look at some of the many ways we implement these core concepts. Every day is designed around discovery children naturally make on their own or the discovery facilitated by careful planning and modeling.
